10 Delish Ways to Celebrate National Margarita Day

So, Saturday is National Margarita Day. According to the official website, “We pay tribute and honor the margarita on this special day of celebration. We so deeply respect and value its place in our history that we have set aside February 22 of every year as National Margarita Day.” Well said.

So, whether you prefer a classic ‘rita, one with a little spice, one with absolutely NO tequila or ideas for adding a fun kick to entrees, give these margarita or margarita-inspired recipes a try. You know, for the sake of celebrating … of course.

Usually fruit margaritas have sugar on the rim. (or salt if they want their salt). Saltless rim margaritas are just as good. Margaritas come in so many flavored varieties. On the rocks or blended. Have to try a few of these recipes.

One day a year is simply not enough to honor our dear friend the margarita. I suggest at least one day a week. More is better. Margarita Mondays has a nice ring to it. Why Not Wednesday would work wonders. Finally Friday feels fine to me. Then there's always Sit n' Sip Saturdays.

Thanks for the heads-up, Kayla. Great recipes. Who knew you could dedicate an entire meal, a workday evening or a long weekend to the many savory flavors of the margarita.
